Acting as a god and Buddha: starting from Guanzi

Chapter 63 Master and Disciple
In the old monk's room, the master and the apprentice sat opposite each other.

"Miaoxie, what did you gain from this trip?" Huiming asked with a smile on his face.

Meng Yuan said with a smile: "The disciple has gained a lot, I don't know where to start."

"You were only in the middle stage of Qi training when you left, and you have already built the foundation when you came back. Can you consider it a good harvest?"

Meng Yuan shook his head: "It doesn't matter. The level of spiritual power does not know the suffering of all living beings. It is difficult to understand the root of good dharma. It is only nothingness."

"Then you are full of spiritual light, and you have a golden mountain horse, which is better than means, but you have a good harvest?"

"No, treasures and people are like honey on the edge of a knife, which is not worth the beauty of a meal. If a child licks it, it will cut his tongue. If we talk about means, mountains will have their own mountains, and people will have their own people. Competing for strength and victory will bring disaster to the world."

Huiming nodded and asked again: "Then you think that there is no way to attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, and you should become a Buddha, but it's a good harvest?"

"No, the Buddha who attained Anuttarasamyaksambodhi achieved nothing."

Meng Yuan suddenly realized: "Master, this disciple has gained nothing."

For a moment, the room smelled fragrant, as if there were thousands of flowers growing out of the void, and the master and apprentice sat among the flowers, looking at each other and smiling.

Now Meng Yuan has confirmed that the master in front of him is not an old monk who has established a perfect foundation. His Dharma is also very profound. Doro Sanchao San Bodhi.

"Miao Evil, you have anger in your heart." The old monk looked into Meng Yuan's eyes and said.

"Yes, Master." Meng Yuan nodded.

The old monk shook his head and said: "You shouldn't be angry. Buddha loves all living beings and takes kindness as his root. Anger will burn away your compassion, cover your wisdom, and pollute your bodhicitta."

At this moment, the two of them were already discussing Taoism. As the old monk spoke, the room felt as if boundless karma fire was burning from the ground, turning all the flowers into ashes and burning Meng Yuan's flesh and bones into remains.

At this moment, Meng Yuan turned into a white skeleton, wearing a moon-white monk's robe.

He asked back: "Master, why did the Buddha save all sentient beings?"

This remark stumped the old monk. It seemed that no one had ever tried to understand the Buddha. Why did he want to save all living beings?

Both the Unique Sect and the Endless Sect in the Great Yan Kingdom believe that the Buddha and all Buddhas have existed since ancient times, so He is not a sentient being in the world. Then why is He merciful and saves people?

Wouldn't it be self-contradictory to say that He is a member of all living beings, so he loves all living beings so that they can escape from the sea of ​​life and death in this world.

"Master, my anger is not my anger, it is actually the anger of all living beings. I am all living beings, and all living beings are me. If there is me, there is no me. But ordinary people think that there is me, and ordinary people are not ordinary people."

"Master, you and I, all living beings can become Buddhas!"

boom!
All the karma fires in the sky turned into flowers and once again covered the entire room. Meng Yuan's white bones grew into sinews, sinews into flesh, and flesh into skin, restoring their original appearance in an instant.

The old monk gently lowered his hands: "Are you a Buddha?"

"Unfinished."

All the visions in the room disappeared one after another, like an illusion. The master and the disciple were still sitting opposite each other, but now Monk Huiming no longer regarded Meng Yuan as his disciple.

He turned around and took out a book from the cabinet, "The Foundation Building Chapter of the Lotus Du E Heart Sutra".

"I don't have anything to teach you anymore. If you want to practice the next chapter of Jindan, you can go to Ahan Temple."

Meng Yuan's growth has exceeded Huiming's imagination, but he still has some selfish intentions. After all, he intends to let Meng Yuan go to Ahan Temple, which may change everything.
Meng Yuan took over the foundation chapter: "Thank you, Master."

Agama Temple should be the temple where the old monk was born. He will go there, but the matters in the temple and the Wang family still need to be resolved.

"Master, do you know which junior brother is possessed by a demon?"

Through the matter just now, he has confirmed that the master is not a monster, but an eminent monk who has attained the Tao. Since that night, he has had to stimulate his cultivation, and he has eaten less and less.

"I'm not sure about my teacher. This disaster was also caused by my teacher at the beginning, but I never thought it would involve you. Fortunately, as long as my teacher is still in the temple, it will not dare to act presumptuously. Otherwise, my teacher will die with it."

"Master, what kind of monster is it?" He already knew what the monster was after hearing what the master said, but he seemed very afraid.

"It's a heavenly demon, who hates all sentient beings to leave the ordinary world, and manifests all suffering and evil in the world. No matter we practice Buddhism, Taoism, and all dharmas, we are all enemies." The old monk's face was full of dignity.

Demon?If it is this kind of thing, no wonder it is difficult for my discerning eyes to see the flaws in the two senior brothers.

"Then master, is there any way to subdue it?"

The old monk shook his head, he didn't want to say more, he just said: "You can just rest assured and walk your way, there is a teacher in the temple to take care of it, everything will be fine."

Meng Yun wanted to continue asking, but since the master knew what he knew, he stopped talking. Maybe the old monk had his own plan. After all, he already knew what was causing the trouble but did not let himself be careful. In other words, in fact The danger has been suppressed.

It's strange to say that just now the two of them debated the Dharma and made such a big commotion, but they didn't disturb the others at all. The small temple is very quiet at the moment.

Meng Yuan raised his legs and walked towards his room. When he passed the entrance of the main hall, suddenly, a strange voice stopped him.

"Miao Evil Junior Brother."

The only person in the temple who could call him junior brother was the second senior brother Miao Le, but the voice at this moment was obviously not his.

Meng Yuan didn't turn around, but just walked without paying attention.

But the voice continued to call him: "Junior Brother Miaoxie, don't go. I am Miaoyan. I am trapped by demons in the Buddha statue in this hall. Can you save me?"

"Brother Miaoyan, aren't you practicing closed-mouth meditation?" Meng Yuan asked.

"Hey! I am half dead now, so I don't care about the closed-mouthed meditation and the open-mouthed meditation. Since that day you and Master went to the town for a night and didn't return, I was attracted by the demon in the temple and became his substitute, Master. Don't believe me, Junior Brother Miao Le can't hear me but can't see me, only you can save me."

Those wonderful words spoke of sincerity, which actually aroused Meng Yuan's compassionate heart, and he couldn't help but want to believe him and sympathize with him.

"Heavenly Demon, you are the result of all the desires, sufferings and evils of all living beings. The human heart and nature cannot escape your palm, but you can't shake the poor monk's heart. When the time is right, I will save you myself."

The devil immediately became furious when he heard this. It was really a joke. Even the old monk who had once ascended to heaven was made like this by it. How dare such a little bald man who could spray him to death with one breath dare to speak arrogantly?

All of a sudden, all kinds of vicious curses came from behind Meng Yuan, but they were blocked by the moon-white monk's clothes and could not hurt him at all, and then they floated away.

However, he did have this idea. The demon manifested the suffering and evil of all living beings. If he could save it, it would mean the complete elimination of part of the suffering and evil in the world, which would be a great merit.

Heavenly demons are not indestructible. It was recorded in the "Da Ji Jing" that the daughter of the demon king Bo Xun became a Buddha from darkness. The Buddhas have also surrendered various heavenly demons many times.

After returning to the room, Manzhu had already huddled in a corner and fell asleep. Meng Yuan took out a futon and meditated beside him.

Just now, the demon deliberately lured him and appeared as Miaoyan. Could it be that it took away the senior brother?
But Meng Yuan is not sure, this thing can find the flaws in people's hearts, it is the most cunning, and it is not impossible to lure him deliberately.

But when it found itself, it found the wrong person.

Meng Yuan let go of his thoughts, and then took out the foundation building chapter of the Lotus Heart Sutra to watch slowly.
